Over the next few hours, the woman received the care she desperately needed. Although she remained mostly silent, her eyes followed Dr. Thompson every time he entered the room. There was a familiarity in her gaze, a silent acknowledgment of shared history. Yet, she still did not utter a word about who she was or where she had come from.
As the night deepened, Dr. Thompson took a seat beside her bed. He spoke softly, recounting memories from his past, moments that might resonate with her. He talked about a life once shared, of laughter and joy overshadowed by a sudden and inexplicable separation. His words were tinged with both hope and sorrow, as if he were reaching across a chasm of time, trying to bridge the gap between their present and the past.
